He say don't go play
Road is a waste of a day
Yes, he is Crusty

I really enjoy TR. It is a fun place to play. One's first round there can be difficult (I was lucky enough to play it with someone who knew the course my first time around), but could you not say the same about Cruden Bay, The Old Course, NGLA, and frankly lots of other great courses?

The course is loaded with strategy, which is why the people who love it, LOVE IT. The course is short on "framed holes", "shot values" (whatever that is), and perceived "fairness". This would explain why many GD rates would not enjoy it. In my opinion, it is one of the 3 or 4 places I would most want to play in the Pinehurst area.

Exhilirating
Golf as a pure, fun, challenge
Can't wait to go back

Where's the f#@$&ing green?
I have no idea. Can you
Check the yardage book?

For Ted S:

GD says 23
In state of NC - not bad
GM is the culprit

Now another:

Low course rating, high slope
Very tough to call much fun
But many do defend it

Stantz is Good Mad.
Jaka is Bad Mad.
Go play The Road and be Good Mad.

Sixth green, where's the ball
In the cup, one swing, free drinks
Then home 'til next year

« **Reply #10 on:** August 17, 2006, 11:40:13 AM »

Great Architecture?
Maybe yes or maybe not
Still - great fun to play

No love for the Road
Which is more underrated?
For me, Lawsonia

Laughing out loud
Playing always easier than it looks
Cool golf

No way man, thanks for the props, but Michael Moore's is so good, I wanna license it for a bumpper sticker and t-shirts.

"Where's the f&%$ing green?" could be a catchphrase!

« **Reply #16 on:** August 17, 2006, 12:56:00 PM »

Sorry, had to add this...

Mucci rebuke soon?
I haiku'd Tobacco Road
Without having played

« **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2006, 01:14:36 PM »

What, Tobacco Road
Haiku, where do you come up
with this awful crap

Haiku is an art form invented to give dumb elementary school teachers something to teach. I hate everything about it.

(But I did like Michael Moore's)

Credit wrongly gave
This morning Kyle started
On some other thread

Form can be freeing
Includes the freedom to suck
Moore flowers in midst

I've never played it
It's near top of my wish list
Hope it ranks a 10

The course starts off poor
Gets bogged down in the middle
Then finishes worse

Par 5 strategies
They are very redundant
Many wedge par 3's

Tee off 17
Leave my bag or not, back track
Tee off the 18th

In rocky rough
their serpent thirst slakes,
M R snakes!
